FAQ
What is TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation)?
TMS is a non-invasive treatment that uses magnetic pulses to stimulate areas of the brain associated with mood regulation. It’s often recommended for individuals with depression who haven’t responded well to medications.
Is TMS safe?
Yes. TMS is FDA-cleared, non-invasive, and has minimal side effects compared to medications. Most patients can return to daily activities immediately after a session.
How long does a TMS treatment session last?
A typical session lasts between 20–40 minutes. Treatment schedules usually involve several sessions per week over 4–6 weeks.
What is medication management?
Medication management involves a psychiatrist carefully prescribing, adjusting, and monitoring psychiatric medications to ensure they are safe and effective for each individual patient.
